Suzuki Swift dimensions, boot space and interior

Suzuki has finally built an all-new Swift, which is the successor to the Japanese brand's best-selling product in South Africa. We sent our UK correspondent Wayne Gorrett to the South of France to drive it before the newcomer arrives on the local market later this year.

Two years ago, with the demise of both the Alto and Splash models, the roomy and frugal Celerio made its appearance. It was followed last summer by the impressive Baleno and earlier this year, it was the return of the Ignis name in the form of a quirky but refreshingly different micro-SUV — pure character on wheels.

Now, the all-new third global generation Swift is on its way and should reach our shores late this year. The new Swift in profile. It shares a platform with the Ignis and Baleno. This new platform is 30 kg lighter, which has contributed to the lightest Swift in the new line-up registering a kerb weight of just kg, which is kg lighter overall — impressive, considering no one realised the excess weight was there in the first place. The Mk3 Swift is 10 mm shorter overall than the outgoing model, but its wheelbase is 20 mm longer.

The new car is also 15 mm lower and 40 mm wider, which accentuates its bullish stance. In the current Suzuki model line-up, the new Swift will slot in between the funky Ignis and more sober Baleno. The Swift is a familiar shape and very much a smoothed-off, buffed evolution of what went before, with the wrap-around windscreen, similarly shaped light clusters and the sloping roofline. It certainly makes a statement with its aggressive grille, muscular arches and very distinctive shoulder line.

The blacking-out of the entire A- and B-pillars along with the top half of the C-pillar, makes the roof appear to "float". Rear door handles are hidden in the C-pillar to give it a 3-door appearance. In the UK, the new Swift offers 10 fashionable exterior colours and full personalisation options both inside and out and, in doing so, target a more youthful demographic.

The good work done by the exterior designers is mostly continued on the inside. The interior has been completely redesigned and features a new dashboard with a V-shaped layout and revised vents. The dash design is neat, but nothing like the effort given to the Ignis. Below is a 7-inch touchscreen replacing the radio unit and numerous buttons and knobs found in the previous model.

The manual HVAC controls just above the centre console are also new, now including modern buttons with new graphics. Interior has had a major overhaul and appears more modern, but some of the plastics still feel low rent. The instrument cluster is an improvement and features separate covers for the speedo and rev counter and a new digital display in the centre. The steering wheel has a circular centre section boss with chrome detailing, controls on both spokes, sporty grip areas and a flat-bottom lower section.

However, plastics deployed in critical touch zones look and feel a bit cheap. This far ahead of its South African launch, choices by Suzuki SA on engines and transmissions have yet to be announced. The first, a 1. This is the same engine as in the current Swift and will be in the new Ignis when it arrives soon.

But wait, it gets better…. Naturally aspirated engines are available although we are uncertain what versions will make it to SA. The real star of the show is the cracking 83 kW three-cylinder 1. It loves revving and proves willing throughout the gearbox. The turbocharged Boosterjet engine, with its 83 kW output is 16 kW more than the larger capacity 1. The car rides well and smothers the worst bumps, though extended lengths of uneven surface can make it a little skittish.
